Very sweet teacher even when 8 months pregnant with twins. She grades rough drafts tough so you can correct everything and the final draft is usually a 10 point improvement or so. Unless you're really good at writing, don't BS your paper the night before it'd due. Likes smooth transitions, good use of scholarly articles, and harps on MLA format.
Prof Reed understands the concept of what online class is. We are WORKING adults with full-time jobs & lives. Not an easy-A class by any means, but the work and the time-frame was appropriate for an online class. I would definitely take another class from her! Thanks Prof Reed!!
Great teacher and very understanding
Professor Reed has been great! This was all new to me and being a full time mom and having a full time job it has been really hard. But she has been great and very understand and knows all about it. I really do appreciate all her time and for helping me to understand. Thank you !
The class is super easy, but you still have to do work! She's a great teacher and is very easy to understand. I would take another class with her as my teacher.
Enjoyed taking her and I am not someone who likes English classes as a whole. She encourages class discussion and is very fair for a 100-level English class. If she taught in any other subject matter, I would certainly try to take her again. She is very understanding and willing to work with you.
Not a lot of work. This class is an easy A as long as you do what you're assigned to do.
Professor Reed was available to help when I needed it. She was very clear in her directions and I learned a lot in her class.
I am glad to have had this professor for this class, she is very attentive to any questions or needs. She cares about her students success.
Professor Reed is quick to answer any questions and is very involved in with her online class.
One of the best teachers I've ever had!
3 - 4 Essays, one speech, and one quiz
She is an average teacher. She will help you if you need help, she has a sense of humor and the lectures aren't boring or exciting. You shouldn't have any problems with her at all. Just don't let the work back up on you. The beginning of the class is easy but towards the end it gets a little hectic. Would take her again if I had to.
The only reason you should fail is if you don't turn in essays. Teacher is great
She is the best professor I have ever had. She is an amazing woman and teacher and will do anything to hep you pass. She isn't super strict about attendance but we only had 9 people in our class so it was noticeable if we didn't show up.
Charity Yost Reed is an absolutely great professor and truly increases a student's knowledge. Definitely take her.
Charity Reed was my first English teacher here at AU and I have really enjoyed having her as a phenomenal teacher. She gives great feedback within your writings but also will take off a small amount of points for grammar. She is really funny, nice, inspirational, caring, respected, very easy to contact if you have an illness or oversleep.
Great Teacher! Mrs. Reed is very easy going and understanding, and she actually teaches. This was great, she did not mind answering questions and giving actual input to help you improve.
Easy class. Professor is nice and relatable
She really cares about her students and wants you to do well. She is strict on grading but gives you time to do the work.
She gave good directions for each assignment and great feedback on all the assignments
Loves to start class just talking! Such a caring woman. If you just follow what she asks, and do the steps of the writing process the papers are easy.
Professor Reed was a great professor. She gives great feedback and is extremely caring.
She taught me a lot and helped me improve from English 101 to 102. Amazing professor!:)
Great Professor. Really cares about the students.
She has a great personality and really cares about connecting with her students rather than simply lecturing. She leads stimulating class discussion by relating class material to interesting real world topics.
SHE IS AWESOME!
I would take her again if I could. Great teacher and really cares. Plus, isn't too hard.
Professor Reed is a great professor who actually cares.
I really enjoyed this class. Lecture is easy and we learn fun stories about Mrs. Reed. Ask about how the hiking story with her "future hubby". Yes she grades papers hard but she gives good feedback
This Professor is a must take if you want to have an English class that is applicable to real life.
She's super sweet and really cares about the students and the material she teaches.
I would definitely recommend taking Mrs. Reed's English class! She is my favorite teacher I have this semester. She is extremely helpful with giving clear feedback, as well as just talking to me about life.
Amazing teacher. Starts class with stories and uses those stories to connect to the lecture. Gives good feedback and many opportunities in class for grades. Highly recommend taking her class.
She gave good feedback on papers and will give you the grade you earn. Textbooks are technically required but I wish I had not wasted my money on them because you do not really need them. She is very nice, but class got annoying because I never had to pay attention to the lectures or read the textbook to make good grades.
This professor is a great choice for both ENG 101 and 102. Its a good idea to have her for 102 if you had her for 101. The work load is average. The classes are fun and engaging and there are not many boring lectures. If you are looking for a great teacher to have for your freshman year this is the professor for you.
One of my favorite professors. You learn a lot in this class. I would take her again if I could.
She is a great teacher. From what I've heard other teachers assign, she is more gracious and easy. She is not an easy grader, but she is not a harsh grader either. she is also willing to work with you on assignments and help you as best she can.
I have enjoyed being in Professor Reed's class. She weaves stories into her lessons that often motivate and encourage her students. She is a fair grader of students' work. I suggest that you take her as an English professor if you have the chance.
There was a little confusion at first, but I believe this is normal for 1st week of online classes. Professor Reed was very understanding and worked with me through technical issues and clarifying assignments.
Super nice, very helpful, and responsive to questions.
Great professor, wish I could have her for ENG 102 also!
Professor Charity Reed gives great feedback on all assignments. A very caring and devoted teacher. I really enjoyed taking ENG 101 online and learned so much from the class. I was very thankful to have such a kind teacher.
This was one of my very first classes as college student, after being out of school for 20 years. Mrs Charity Yost Reed made this a great experience for a first class and was very helpful. She is very understanding and willing to work with you. She does not have the mentality of what ever she says is right. I Loved having her.
The best English teacher I have ever had.
Professor Reed is an incredible teacher! You do have to write 4 or 5 papers but they are not super hard. She gives good feedback when grading and grades fairly. She is also somewhat lenient with due dates.
Professor Reed is the BEST! She is so funny and she is a great role model. She is a GREAT teacher, she gives good feedback and teaches great. Professor Reed is always looking to have a fun time. She always makes you laugh when you aren't feeling good or just not in a good mood. I would recommend professor Reed for this class and every ENG course.
Professor Reed is by far one of my favorite professors! She is so caring and would take time out of her day to help anyome. She always gives back amazing feedback and gives you two chances to fix your paper before turning them in (which is AMAZING). If you have the chance to take her, do it! I am taking her for ENG 102 next semester too!
Professor Reed has a really good sense of humor that helps the class be more entertaining. While a lot of the semester was spent writing papers, they weren't difficult because she was really helpful and did not grade super hard. As long as you put in effort, you can get an easy A in this class. By far the best professor I had all semester.
Professor Reed is by far the best professor I've had this semester. She is caring and would the time out of her day to help anyone. She gives really good feed back on essays and does not grade super hard on papers. You can make an easy A in her class.
I would definitely take a class taught from Professor Reed again. She really cares about student progress and wants each student to do their best. She tries really hard to keep the class fun so the lectures do not get boring. All grading is straightforeward and she leaves comments that clarify why points were taken away.
I took Professor Reed for eng 101 and 102 and can say that she is so much fun, at times her classes feel more like a fun conversation more than a lecture. She has a lot of group work, but as long as your group communicates and coordinates through the workload this class will be a breeze.
I would highly recommend you taking this professor. Not only is she a great professor; she is also very caring. There are several papers, but you have plenty of time and great feedback to prepare for them. She is a tough grader when it comes to papers, but her feed back is essential. Do the work to the best of your ability and youll get an A.
Prof. Reed is not a difficult grader, but there are a lot of assignments. She was not very clear with my class about what she expected which caused a lot of confusion. She is also a slow grader but does give good feedback when she gets it done. Reed definitely cares about students, but due to her unclearness, I would try to not take her again.
This class can be easily done if you do the work because she provides all the tools to be successful. Dont take her caring heart for granted. She really cares about each individual.
she is an amazing professor.
We worked on one paper throughout this whole semester, and there was lots of peer review on it. Reed is very gracious in her grading, and if you know the basics of english, you will pass this class.
Professor Reed is an awesome teacher I had. She gives you time to get your work done, the work load is bearable and if you need help she is always there to give you a hand and pointers. She is a tough grader on papers, but all other assignments shes more flexible. I would recommend taking her as a teacher, she is very passionate, caring, & patient.
Professor Reed is one of the most caring professors on campus in my opinion. She is one to understand each individual's situation and is always willing to help out. It is evident that she cares more about her students than simply the grade they receive. She always makes sure to keep spirits high, and I would take her class again in a heartbeat.
Professor Reed was fair, understanding, and set reasonable expectations. She's the only English professor I've ever liked, 10/10, you're a dummy if you don't take her class.
Not that great. After a few weeks she cancelled both of the weekly online class meetings because "not enough people showed up." This was a big deal to me because I like face to face interaction. Situation made worse by the fact that it would normally take multiple days for her to reply to emails. The work wasn't hard, but I didn't learn anything.
She was a very fair teacher and did a good job teaching. Lots of class time to work on assignments and allow for peer review and ask questions
I absolutely loved Prof Reed! She was so kind and made sure students got great feedback on their papers. I definitely can tell that I have learned how to write a professional paper throughout her Eng101 course. I wish I was able to have her again!
Professor Reed, I overly enjoyed her class and was excited each week to attend her class because her classroom is very welcoming.
To make a long story short she never really explained our assignments to the fullest. She always just beat around the bush and banked on us watching her YouTube videos to try and understand what was expected of us. However, these videos still never gave an exact description and made what should have been a simple class, harder than it needed to be.
Professor Reed is probably the best professor I have ever had. She made sure the environment of the class was always welcoming and open to all. I never once stressed out over her class. She helped awaken our creativity, not just in our writing, but in our lives as well. She is not just a great professor, but a great human being. Thank you Prof Reed
I used to hate English and it was my worst subject. However Mrs. Reed made it so fun and enjoyable that Im actually half decent at writing now.
Charity Reed is a 10/10 professor! I would take her again in a heartbeat. The homework is completely manageable and she walks you through every step of your papers/presentations, but you also learn something from the class too. It's the best of both worlds! Do yourself a favor and take her class!
Prof. Reed is a truly amazing professor! She is genuinely so caring, kind, and will make you laugh. The workload for this class is about average, and the rubrics are easy to follow. She is always willing to answer any questions. Its hard to not do well in this class unless you truly dont put any effort in.
Professor Reed is an outstanding professor. Having her my whole freshman year was a dream! Her class is not difficult if you show up and complete the assigned classwork. She is willing to work with you to ensure that you receive a good grade in her class. I would most definitely take a class from her again :)
Mrs. Reed will tell you to buy 2 books and she asks you to read a chapter from them each week but you do not need to. You Do Not Need To Buy These Books. She goes over everything you need to know in class and summarizes the chapters. Mrs. Reed gives you a lot of time to do 3 major assignments so make sure to do well on those.
Professor Reed was a wonderful professor and I would take her class again. Do not buy the books that she says are required because they are never used. She explains was is required of her assignments and it is very easy to understand. You may multiple redo's if needed and she helps explains any issues that may arise.
She is very nice and willing to work with you when life gets in the way during the semester. She's a pretty lenient grader and gives lots of time to complete assignments
Professor Reed has been my favorite English teacher yet! She loves her students and wants them to succeed.
Her class is pretty easy and as long as you participate in class you won't have to do a lot of work. You work on the assignments she gives everyday in class and then you turn it in for a participation grade. Very easy and if you do bad she will most likely let you redo it. No quizzes or tests either, all grades come from the work in class
Mrs. Reed was an amazing professor and really made the class enjoyable, even for those don't consider english their favorite subject. The whole ENG102 class was broken down into very small and manageable sections that helped. Overall if you're looking for a great teacher that will help you to understand the material, look no further.
Best English professor I've ever had. She is very clear in what she expects and makes an effort to help each of her students personally.
Professor Reed was a good teacher for the most part. The class is simple if you show up and participate. The in-class workshops set you up for success on the assignments that are graded for accuracy.
Coming into this class on this class it was made very clear that "I'm a liberal" was her favorite phrase. Not sure why this is information needed. She asked our pronouns, when half the class left the question blank we had a full class on learning what pronouns were. She stated this is not political, but by saying this she was making it political.
Prof. Reed is one of the most laid back professors I have had. If you communicate with her or she sees the majority of the class is behind, she will move due dates back. There is a decent bit of writing in this class, but Reed breaks it down and gives us a step-by-step to make it seem like we are barely writing.
Professor Reed was very patient and wanted to see each and every one of us succeed in all ways possible. She not only gave us assignments to complete, but she would work through them and answer any questions we had. You could always email or speak with her if you were struggling or not understanding, and she would do everything she could for you.
One of my favorite english teachers ever. Super nice, tries to make class fun, very understanding and genuinely tries to help students do well in the course. Definitely recommend and would take again.
By far the best English teacher I've had. Her grading is pretty harsh, but she is very a very understanding teacher and is almost always available to help with questions. She answers questions pretty quick by canvas if you have any. Also her classes are pretty entertaining and funny. Will be definitely taking her for English again.
Day 1 she gave an assignment requiring students to submit their preferred pronouns. She gave a talk about why she thinks it is important to list preferred pronouns and mocked past students who disagreed with her. Very disappointed, especially with all the good reviews she has. I swapped to another ENG class immediately.
Great teacher, very relaxed and kind. Would definitely recommend to anyone, she knows her students and really cares about them, and she will do anything in her power to create success for them. Chill and entertaining.
Great teacher, really easy class. Didn't name her dog Nathaniel but other than that. Amazing
Class reminded me of the movie Free Birds (2014) and that brought a flood of emotions and memories that made me feel warm in all extremities of my body.
She does not take late work which can cause heavy procrastination.
Amazing professor. She made the class fun.
Amazing professor!
She is a great teacher and I am happy to have her next semester. She doesn't have due dates and is very helpful if you have questions/ need help.
So sweet and kind.
She is so wonderful! I don't understand the bad reviews honestly. I took her poetry class and learned so much! When I struggled she was incredibly understanding and allowed me to turn things in late.
Professor Reed cares about your learning! She makes poetry class so fun and interesting with the different activities and workshops she creates for us to work on and to help us succeed in our writing!
She was a very nice teacher who was able to articulate well and help all of her student's understanding of the course.

Good profff
She pretty valid and the class is pretty enjoyable
Overall Easy class, easy grader, and not a lot of work.
She has a special way of teaching and making you understand what she is teaching.
She does take her time on grading assignments but when we get them back they have a lot of good feedback with things for us to revise. We did 2 essays in this class and they were not hard at all. She is accessible outside of class, you can email her or send her a message on Canva and she respond fairly.
Professor Reed was beyond amazing. I wish I could have her again for Eng 102
Professor Reed will always give extra help if you need it and explains it in a way that makes sense. (especially with essays)
taking her again
Professor Reed is an amazing professor and is so kind and understanding about anything and everything!!!
Really nice and cares about her students--tries to make class interesting and helpful. Clear on what she wants and will help walk you through each paper/assignment--sometimes essays can be difficult at first and hard to start. Very willing to help if you have questions. Also overall an easy grader and gives good feedback.
Took Poetry 1 with her for an English minor credit. Was surprised with how intriguing this class was, and the way Mrs. Reed taught it made it super enjoyable. All of my assignments didn't really even feel like schoolwork, if anything it just felt like a cool hobby you get class credit for. She's super helpful too. Worth taking if you need credit.
